Talking Need advice for color - Esprit 300
Been a while since I last posted...

Finally got the Lotus Esprit Sport 300 off ebay... been wanting one forever (at a decent price of course! ain't gonna pay $40 for a Monogram kit)

Any advice for color? I don't want to paint it Red or Silver... I already have enough 'red' in my room from all the Ferrari diecasts....

I want this model to be special cuz I love this car....



p.s. I'll be finishing my CLK GTR once finals are over

how about black? I built Monogram Esprit sport 200 kit before and I painted it red.
I have that kit one more, but I'll paint it red again someday...
detail of that kit is good but the body is little hight and wheels are little small.
so I think it needs modify.
good luck!

How about Brittish racing green, with Yellow wheels?

Black with gold pinstripes could look cool too!

I'd also go with British Racing Green, but I'm not so sure about the yellow wheels.

If not they do look good in black or yellow.

It's a Lotus therefore it should only be one colour.

YELLOW!!!!

Wow, yellow and white are quite popular....

Now here's my next problem: Which yellow should I use...
- Yellow (TS16)
- Camel Yellow (TS34)
- Chrome Yellow (TS47)

And for white...
- White (TS26)
- Pearl White (TS7)
- Pearl White (TS45)

Anyone had experience with all of these colors? Thx

p.s. Kunta.... that's one awesome Esprit.... did u have any fit problems with the kit at all?

Hey Kunta, have you got any more pictures of that kit? I love those Esprits, would love to build one or two. Are they still in production?
